Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDhyānāsakta (ध्यानासक्त) [=dhyānasakta?] refers to “one absorbed in meditation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Śiva permitted Pārvatī to stay by his side: “[...] O sage, when Śiva, the great Ātman, sank into meditation [i.e., dhyānāsakta], no other thought entered His mind. As for Pārvatī, she served Him everyday with great devotion, always thinking on the form of that Great Soul. Śiva who was engrossed in meditation saw her every day in full composure. Forgetting His previous thoughts about her, He did not see her although He saw her. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
